Just to add to the idea of eating more - there's a whole theory called "energy flux" where you eat more and move more, and still have a calorie deficit, and you lose well. It's popular with bodybuilders and athletes and other high-volume exercise people with what sounds like not-broken metabolisms, but if you google "high energy flux" you'll see a bunch of stuff.

Also on calculators overestimating TDEE. If you are way obese or a woman- make sure the calculator uses the Miffin equations which is a better estimate. The Katch-McKardle and Harris Benedict ones can overestimate by up to 30% !!

In my city you can measure your BMR at a clinic for only $75. That seems better than those online calculators which can only be crude estimates for an individual.
